Stone surfaces such as steps, patios, and sidewalks often have molds and lichens adhering to them, leaving a dirty, black, surface. Over time this can cause cracking, deterioration, and discoloration.

The Caltex System can prevent these problems from occurring. While making stone surfaces look like new again!Stone surfaces will come out clean and bright. Furthermore, if the stone surface is cleaned on a maintenance schedule, cracking and degradation can be prevented.

The Caltex cleaning process makes the surface cleaning of stones possible without the risk of further physical damage which has been the case with abrasive systems commonly used in the past, for example, sandblasting or acid cleaning.

At Artios Painting we are fully trained in the methods of assessment and investigation required prior to cleaning; types of soil including staining; the characteristics of masonry substrates and the cleaning of metals and wood on the buildings.
